Organic Matcha Tea Powder
Finely ground green tea leaf for focused energy. Because the leaf is powdered rather than steeped, you drink the whole thing instead of an infusion. Half a teaspoon in hot water, a latte or a smoothie.
Benefits
Caffeine for the lift, L-theanine to smooth it out. In matcha the two arrive together in roughly equal measure, which is why the energy tends to build and hold rather than spike. Antioxidant-rich, and easy to fold into a morning you already have.
Ingredients
Organic green tea leaf (Camellia sinensis), finely ground. That's the whole list. No fillers, no sugar, no anti-caking agents.
Refunds
If something arrives damaged or wrong, get in touch within 7 days of buying or receiving it and we'll help sort it out. Items need to be unused and in their original packaging. We look at each request on its own, for both faulty and non-faulty products, and the outcome is at our discretion.
Feel the difference of a truly healthy morning.
Matcha behaves differently to coffee, and the reason is in the leaf rather than the marketing.
Focus that holds
A 2g serving carries roughly 60 to 70mg of caffeine, about two thirds of a coffee. Alongside it sits L-theanine, an amino acid found almost only in tea, which slows how quickly the caffeine lands. Most people feel it as a steadier four to six hours.
The whole leaf, not an infusion
Tea is normally steeped and the leaf thrown away. Matcha is the leaf, ground fine and suspended in water, so you take in all of it. That's why a small spoonful goes further than a teabag.
Nothing added on the way
One ingredient in the pack, certified organic and pesticide-free at the source. Tea is a crop that carries whatever it's sprayed with, so certification is the part worth checking.
Two minutes, and no bamboo whisk required.
Matcha is easy to make badly, and the fixes are small. Water that's too hot turns it bitter, and skipping the sieve is what makes it clump.
- Sift half a teaspoon into a cup. This is the step that prevents lumps, and no amount of whisking undoes skipping it.
- Add water just off the boil, around 80°C. Boiling water scorches the leaf and turns it harsh, so let the kettle stand a minute.
- Whisk briskly for twenty seconds. A bamboo whisk gives the smoothest result; a milk frother works too if you don't have one. For a latte, whisk with a splash of water first, then pour the milk over.

Common questions
How much should I use?
Half to one and a half teaspoons (2g), at least once daily. Start low and see how the caffeine sits with you.
Can I use boiling water?
Better not to. Around 80°C is right. Boiling water scorches the leaf and makes matcha taste bitter and harsh, so let the kettle rest a minute after it clicks off.
Does it have caffeine?
Yes, roughly 60 to 70mg in a 2g serving, a bit less than a cup of coffee. It usually feels gentler because of the L-theanine, but it's still caffeine. If coffee keeps you up, matcha in the evening will too.
Why is mine clumpy?
It wasn't sifted. Matcha compacts in the pack and the clumps survive whisking, so push it through a small sieve first. No amount of whisking undoes skipping it.
How do I store it?
Before and after opening, store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight. Each pack carries its best-before date. Seasonal variation in taste, texture and colour may occur, since this is a leaf rather than a formula.
